Fuck, This Damned System

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"What? An unfamiliar Dou Shi entered Qingshan Town and even joined the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's herb-gathering party?" The middle-aged man in the seat abruptly rose, surprise appearing on his face.

This man was Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and a one-star Dou Shi.

"Could some treasure have been discovered here?" Mu She's expression flickered uncertainly.

An unfamiliar Dou Shi would not enter a little place like Qingshan Town for no reason.

There could only be something here that attracted a Dou Shi.

After much deliberation, Mu She still could not resist the temptation.

"Go, summon Gan Mu and He Meng for me..."

"Yes, Commander."

The Blood Battle Mercenary Group.

"Commander, I saw Mu She hurry into the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Gan Mu, He Meng, and the others, right on the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's heels. Judging by their movements, they should be going after that outsider Dou Shi. Should we..."

Mu Lan reported everything to Fei Lei without leaving out a word, a trace of eagerness faintly visible in his expression.

Fei Lei snorted coldly.

"Once someone reaches the Dou Shi level, how could just anyone scheme against them? Mu She will probably suffer a major loss. We'll just stay put in Qingshan Town and watch the show. Don't get involved in matters that have nothing to do with us."

"And you, you should be just a hair away from breaking through to four-star Dou Zhe, right? Hurry up and go into seclusion, or I won't take you into the mountains next time."

"Don't, Commander! I'll go into seclusion right now." Mu Lan's expression changed, and he swiftly darted away.

After he left.

Fei Lei shook his head and sneered, "Mu She, ha. These underhanded tricks are all you know."

In the silent mountain forest, a large party walked along warily.

At the very center of the crowd, within the heavily guarded herb-gathering party of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, a delicate beauty in a white dress kept turning to look at a young man who followed casually at the rear with his arms folded.

What the hell is up with this Xiao Yi Xian?

Why does she keep looking at me?

Could my looks happen to be exactly Xiao Yi Xian's type?

But even if she likes someone, she doesn't need to wear that expression, does she?

Xiao Han was thoroughly puzzled.

At the entrance to Qingshan Town, Xiao Yi Xian had emerged surrounded by people, swept her gaze over the mercenaries, and looked as though she had seen a ghost upon spotting him.

At first, Xiao Han had thought the Dou Shi strength he displayed had made Xiao Yi Xian fall for him.

After all, Xiao Yi Xian was a girl too.

It was only natural for her to admire a young expert.

But along the way, Xiao Han realized that was not the case.

Rather than admiration, Xiao Yi Xian's gaze held alarm and uncertainty.

The glances she kept secretly casting his way carried fear and confusion.

It was as though Xiao Han should not have been here at all.

Could Xiao Yi Xian also be a transmigrator?

Noticing something unusual about Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Han raised an eyebrow. When she turned back again, he raised his hands and made a heart gesture at her.

At this blatant gesture, Xiao Yi Xian's body visibly stiffened, and even her breathing grew rapid.

This made Xiao Han even more certain that something really was fishy about this Xiao Yi Xian.

She was most likely a transmigrator like him. As for why she was not someone who had been reborn, naturally, a reborn Xiao Yi Xian could not possibly behave like this.

The only thing puzzling Xiao Han was how she recognized him if she was a transmigrator.

Relying on his supreme strength as a one-star Dou Ling, Xiao Han dispensed with courtesy. He strode over to Xiao Yi Xian, reached out to push aside the female mercenary walking with her, and said bluntly, "You, come with me."

He wanted to see just what sort of thing had transmigrated into Xiao Yi Xian.

"Oh."

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently and stepped after him. Her obedient manner shattered the hearts of all the mercenaries around them who admired her.

The female mercenaries, however, were delighted. With this tender, delicate flower that was Xiao Yi Xian plucked away, the male mercenaries would turn their eyes toward them.

As for why no one stepped forward to stop him, naturally, everyone present was a Dou Zhe, and even together, they were no match for a Dou Shi.

Thus, they could only watch helplessly as Xiao Han led Xiao Yi Xian deep into the woods.

"All right, stop looking. Take this time to rest your feet." The Myriad Medicine Pavilion's middle-aged steward coughed as he spoke.

A Dou Shi was not someone the Myriad Medicine Pavilion could afford to offend, especially since Xiao Yi Xian had followed him willingly.

Elsewhere.

Xiao Han led Xiao Yi Xian a hundred or so meters away, casually crushing several Crimson Ice Snakes that lunged down along the way.

His effortless manner made Xiao Yi Xian, following behind him, even more certain that the person before her was the Dou Sheng Expert she had seen earlier in the Answering Space.

Although she had never seen a Dou Shi fight either, one facing several lunging rank-one magical beasts at once absolutely could not kill them so easily.

Much less spare a hand to protect her as well.

"Th-thank you."

Held in Xiao Han's arms, Xiao Yi Xian spoke softly, her face flushed bright red.

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Yi Xian, whose face was inches away, slowly saying, "Why be so polite? We're from the same hometown, after all."

"Th-the same hometown?"

Xiao Yi Xian froze, looking somewhat bewildered.

Could the Dou Sheng Expert also have come from Qingshan Town?

"Heh, still pretending with me."

Xiao Han smiled, applying a little pressure with the hand supporting Xiao Yi Xian. "Tell me, how did you learn of my existence? Otherwise, I wouldn't mind doing you right here on the spot."

Although Xiao Yi Xian was nowhere near as mature as she would be after becoming a Dou Zun, certain parts of her were already quite impressive.

With that gentle squeeze, Xiao Han's hand nearly sank into her flesh.

Since he knew something was off about Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Han naturally would not play at innocent romance with her.

Cutting through tangled hemp with a sharp knife was the right approach.

Anyway, whether her soul had been replaced or not, her body really was damn enticing.

Xiao Yi Xian naturally felt his movements with perfect clarity.

But at this moment, she could no longer spare any thought for embarrassment.

She knew the Dou Sheng's secrets all too clearly. If she did not explain herself, she feared it would not merely end with him doing her on the spot.

She would lose her life too.

She hurriedly said, "Senior, I don't know why I could see that space either. I swear, I haven't revealed anything about you seniors."

"What?"

"Space?"

Xiao Han, who had been waiting for Xiao Yi Xian to expose herself, froze, his expression instantly turning strange.

"You mean you know me because you saw me in that damned Answering Space?"

"Mm-hmm." Xiao Yi Xian nodded hurriedly.

"Fuck!"

This damned system.

It hasn't exposed me, has it?

Xiao Han cursed inwardly.

Even Xiao Yi Xian knew about the space, so what about Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, whose luck had been extracted to open the space before?

And the second time the space opened, it had randomly extracted luck from main and supporting characters.

Heaven knew how many other people could see the space.

Xiao Han's heart tightened.

No.

I can't expose this face anymore.

His conversations with those old bastards in the space as an equal had been based on everyone being a Dou Sheng.

If they found out that Xiao Han, who had earned nearly ten points, was only a Da Dou Shi...

Then he would really be screwed.
